Advocate IIIDatabricks ODBC driver error
Hi The_Bishop
This is a issue, the Engineers are working on this, and if you installed Desktop from Microsoft Store, you may consider re-downloading Desktop from the website and installing it before trying to connect to the data source.
Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center
Best Regards!

Hi all,
a colleague of mine started having the issue yesterday and he had the August 2024 version. At the time my desktop version was showing October 2024 and all was running. Today on file open I got another message first :
Report layout differences might exist
This Power BI report file may have some features that aren't available in Power BI Desktop until the next release.
If you need to see the latest version you worked with on the web (app.powerbi.com), please view the report there. We're sorry for any inconvenience.
And now if I start modifying the queries or try a refresh, the following error message appears:
The Databricks ODBC driver is not installed on the host. Please install the appropriate driver.
I've tried installing the driver but that didn't fix anything. We have raised a MS support ticket.
And the desktop version of Power BI reads August 2024 today. So probably it reverted overnight.
